Filed: 1970-09-01
Abstract: 1,271,599. Cases. VALIGERIA ANGELO VALAGUZZA DI GHEZZI ANGELA & C. S.A.S. 1 Sept., 1970 [9 April, 1970], No. 41807/70. Heading B8P. In a case comprising two hingedly connected half shells (1, 2) the periphery of one of which is provided with an aluminium section (13), on which is mounted the lock and which overlaps the other half shell when the case is closed, a cover for the lock has a plurality of recesses 5 mating with a plurality of spaced ribs (6) on the section. Two plungers 8 are spring-biased outwardly through bores 17 in the side of the cover 3 facing the other half shell and are inwardly depressed by a rim (2a) on this half shell on closure of the case. The plungers move the two half-shells slightly apart on release of the mechanism retaining the case in the closed position by means of buttons (15) on the sides of the case. The cover has a keyhole 12 and two holes 7 for connecting members to attach the cover 3 to the case and a handle (14) to the cover.

Abstract: 905,169. Mountings for motor vehicle headlamps. CIBIE, P. Dec. 5, 1960 [Dec. 14, 1959], No. 41828/60. Classes 75 (3) and 75 (4). [Also in Group XXV] For mounting the optical unit 1 of a motor vehicle headlamp which is provided with two adjustment screws bearing against the headlamp shell 2 at diagonally opposite corners of a rectangle having two sides vertical, a fixed attachment point for the unit being provided at one of the remaining comers and a spring 11 urging the unit towards the shell at the other, the fixed attachment point is formed by a catch consisting of two tongues 7 which can be pressed together resiliently to pass through a slot in a part 9 attached to the unit, at least one of the tongues having a latching shoulder which engages the part 9. The adjustment screws (not shown) pass through holes 4 in tabs 3 on the unit 1. The unit also has a lug 10 engaging one arm of the spring 11, the other arm being held in a notch 12 on the shell 2. The tongues 7 are formed on a part 5 of resilient material, e.g. plastic or sheet metal, riveted to the shell. One only of the tongues need be shouldered and the slot in the part 9 may be replaced by two side-by-side apertures. The headlamp is adjusted about a vertical axis by turning one of the screws and about a horizontal axis by turning the other.
Patent GB-1322572-A (GB)
Title: Electronic rhythm apparatus
IPC: G10H5/06
Filed: 1970-09-01
Abstract: 1322572 Electronic musical instruments EMINENT NV 1 Sept 1970 [1 Sept 1969] 41842/70 Heading G5J An electronic rhythm apparatus comprises means for switching on the automatic rhythm, which subsequently switches itself off automatically, after a predetermined number of bars. A multivibrator M applies a series of pulses to a programmer 11 to 26, which consists of 16 trigger circuits. The required percussion instruments are connected to the appropriate outputs Ul- U16 of the trigger circuits. The trigger circuits are connected together in series so that the pulses from the multivibrator cause them to operate in succession. Thus, when a trigger circuit with a percussion instrument connected to it operates, the percussion instrument sounds. When the pulse reaches the last trigger circuit, it sends a pulse to the control means 7, which stops transistor T1 conducting, which subsequently stops the multivibrator. Thus the rhythm automatically stops. It may be subsequently started again by applying a pulse to terminals 3, 4 or 8, to cause transistor T1 to start conducting again. The pulse may be obtained from an independent foot switch or by rectifying the audio signal from a conventional electronic organ pedal.

[Also in Division G3] A breathing demand oxygen regulator comprises a housing having an inlet 25 and an outlet 5 for oxygen under pressure, a sensing chamber 4 communicating with the outlet, a surge chamber 13 between the inlet and the sensing chamber, pressure responsive means 40, 33, 35 operable in response to a breathing demand to vary the pressure in the surge chamber, a valve seat 27 positioned between the inlet and outlet, and a valve member 19 movable relative to the seat in response to the varying pressure in the surge chamber for controlling communication between the inlet and outlet, the valve member having a passageway 30 therein for supplying oxygen from the inlet to the surge chamber. When the user inhales, pressure in the outlet 5 and in the space below the diaphragm 40 with which the outlet communicates through a passage 7 is decreased so that the diaphragm is depressed by atmospheric air entering ports 39 and opens a valve 35 carried by a spring-loaded lever 33. Pressure is thus lowered in the surge chamber 13 and hence on the rear face of the valve member 19 which is lifted from its seat allowing oxygen to flow to the outlet through passages 45, 29 and 46. A button 41 and spring 42 permit the valve 35 to be opened manually. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 823,114.

Abstract: 1281687 Computer programming DEFENCE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR 27 Oct 1969 [11 Sept 1968] 43114/68 Heading G4A Computer programming apparatus uses a typewriter to produce groups of programming instructions, each group being either a formula or an organizational instruction, and uses a compiler which determines whether a particular one or ones of the second and subsequent characters in each group of instructions is a member of a predetermined group of characters and deals with each group of instructions in accordance with this determination. As disclosed, each group of instructions is a separate line of MIRFAC programme typed on a typewriter also producing punched tape or cards or magnetic tape recordings to feed a computer. On detecting a "new-line" marker, the compiler tests the second (or third) subsequent character by comparison to determine if it is a lower case roman letter, to classify the line as a formula or organizational instruction, and either store the line or refer it to a machine code dictionary respectively. A particular bit position in the character code could specify whether the character is a lower case roman letter or not.

In the solute concentration of an aqueous comestible solution (or extract) by the removal of water as ice crystals, the solution is undercooled by indirect heat exchange with a refrigerant simultaneously with commingling ice nuclei with the undercooled solution, and the undercooled solution commingled with the ice nuclei is withdrawn from indirect heat exchange with refrigerant and is retained in an environment where crystal growth of the nuclei can continue by reason of the undercooling of the solution so that crystallization and growth of discrete ice crystals is promoted. The solution may be pre-cooled almost to the freezing temperature prior to the commingling. The indirect heat exchange is conducted with the commingled solution and ice nuclei in a turbulent condition employing a heat exchange surface of 100-500 square feet per 1,000 pounds of ice crystallized per hour from the solution to provide a heat transference of from 200 to 1,500 B.Th.U. per square foot of the surface per hour for the growth of discrete ice crystals having an average size of at least 0À8 mm. Ice crystals of selected size and amount may be recycled. Solutions and extracts mentioned include fruit and vegetable juices (specified); potable liquors (specified); blood or protein-bearing liquids; soups; root, leaf or bean extracts including medicines; tea, coffee and cocoa; and vitamin extracts and other pharmaceutical preparations. Referring to Fig. 1, the solution (or extract) is undercooled and commingled with ice nuclei during passage through one of a series of tubes 2A following a circuitous path in trays 5 filled with refrigerant introduced through inlets 4. Refrigerant vapour is discharged from the spaces between the trays 5 through outlets 7. The slurry of ice crystals and a relatively concentrated solute (or extract) passes to a retention tank 14 from which the slurry is delivered to a centrifugal separator 18. In further embodiments (1) undercooling of the solution is accomplished by heat transfer with falling films of liquid refrigerant and (2) multiple stage coolers operating at - 3‹C., - 8‹ C. and - 12‹ C., respectively are employed.
